Alpher Instruments Vector
**** SOLD ****
If you like instruments that feel already broken-in and alive in the hands, this Alpher Vector Bass absolutely delivers. Finished in Nitro Metallic Inverness Green with lacquer checking throughout, it’s got that perfect “played for years” vibe without losing the tightness & definition you want from a modern build.
Under the hood: an ash body, one-piece roasted maple neck (aged nitro), a matching headstock, and 2x Nordstrand Big Single pickups for punch, grind, clarity, and huge dynamic range. The control layout is super functional: pickup on/off buttons for quick changes, master volume, and a Stellartone 10-way tone pot that gives you genuinely usable tonal steps instead of “one dark setting.”
Hardware is dialed: Hipshot Vintage-style bridge, Hipshot Ultralite tuners, and Dunlop flush-mount strap locks. It’s a serious, stage-ready instrument that looks mean, plays fast, and covers a ton of territory—clean & articulate, or aggressive & forward.
Approx. weight: 9 lbs
